      abstract     = {Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are amphiphilic macromolecules
                      indispensable for the growth and the survival of
                      Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of
                      pathogenic bacteria. LPS are composed of a hydrophilic
                      heteropolysaccharide unit, covalently linked to a lipophilic
                      moiety called lipid A, which is embedded in the outer
                      leaflet and anchors these macromolecules to the lipid
                      membrane. Recent studies have revealed that presumably the
                      physical characteristics of these molecules are correlated
                      to their biological activity.Here we present an
                      investigation with a twofold goal. First, we try to connect
                      LPS aggregation behavior to their molecular structure.
                      Second, we attempt to investigate on a possible interaction
                      mechanism between LPS model membranes and hybrid
                      antimicrobial peptides used in the cystic fibrosis therapy
                      treatment.All the investigations have been performed using
                      an experimental strategy which has been proved to be
                      extremely informative, combining dynamic light scattering
                      (DLS) to estimate liposome dimension, small angle neutron
                      scattering (SANS) to analyze the aggregate morphology and
                      for estimating the thickness of the lipid bilayer and
                      electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) to
                      investigate the dynamics of the lipids in the bilayer. These
                      techniques have also been useful to give insights on the
                      effect of antimicrobial peptides on the lipid bilayer.},
